I have to be honest here. You are looking at getting a 24" heavy barrel for a .223?

You don't NEED a muzzle break. ;)

The weight of the weapon is going to do all the dampening you need. Seriously the .223 round doesn't kick THAT much. The muzzle break is only going to throw a ton of dirt and debris around your shooting area, thus infuriating your fellow range shooters, unless you get more of a "tank" style break that only vents to the sides. Then you will just be blowing hot gas and excessive noise in their face. :p

A weapon in this configuration really doesn't need a break. It's money that could be better spent elsewhere on the platform.

JD! It's great to see you posting after a break from here! Hmmm, didn't mean the pun... muzzle brake :p

The two I posted will far out perform the battle comp, but the back blast and noise will be far greater.

The battle comp is just a fair compromise of noise flash and brake, IM just looking for all out brake with no bottom ports.

As for not needing one, well when I shoot for distance I like to see the hole form on paper threw the scope and be able to give a fallow up as fast as I can.

Try and tell the competition guys that a break is not needed. I want distance and speed. Therefore I need a brake.

JP has some great ones as well. But I also want some thing that not many other have, that works as needed, yet looks good on my rifle as well.
